New YORK, December 81. The Mai
and Erpress, in an editorial on the out
look for 1887, says: "The outlook ir
the great fields of American industry il
very bright. The coming year will be
the greatest ever known in our mills
and factories. furnaces and mines. AT

coal than ever before, the supply on

for iron of all kinds assures steady fire.

largest consumption on that account.
What the crops will be is only matter
Of speculation, but the acreage planted
will be the greatest ever titled by the
plow. There may be war in Europe,
but such an event. however much to be
deplored, can bring nothing to US but
advantage. 1t would increase indeti.
nitely the demand for our breadstuffs,
and enrich our farmers. The volume OF
immigrants already shows steady in.
crease, for up 10 the first of November
the gain had been little over twenty
per cent. more than last year; but for
the last month the increase was about
fifty per cent.
The Mai! and Express, in its financial
review for 1856, says: "Viewed from
a financial and commercial stand
point, the year 1856. has
been q most remarkable one
chiefly for its progressiveness and for a
return of that universal prosperity
which marked its course almost through.

visible in all industries, whose develop.

road would be of universal import.

oftrouble arising from comparative build.
ing between New York and Chicago,
particularly in the cases of West
Shore, and Nickel Plate restored
all properties in interest to
productiveness and trunk line pools on
both east and west bound business sur.
vived all shocks and are probably stron.
ger than ever before. The transconti.
mental pool was less fortunate and went
to pieces with the result of cutting rates
between the east and the Pacific coast to
the lowest figures ON record. The diff.
ferences still remain unadiusted, al.
though there has been some restoration
of the rates. The increasing activity in
railroad building is now apparent all
over the south and that section will, no
doubt, figure largely in the next
years total. The monetary situation
has passed through some sharp changes.
The large exports of gold to Europe dur.
ing the first half of the year and subse.

and South to assist in moving crops,
greatly increased the demand for money

street at the present time clearly point
to continuation in 1887 of that pros.
perity in business and industries of the
country which marked the course of

EMMA ABBOTT,
In Lucretia BOrxia, Mt the Grand
Ope1a House.


Emma Abbot supported, by her really
brilliant Opera Company, appeared
again last night at the Grand. The op.
era was the melodiously tuneful, mag.
nlfcently grand tragedy OF "Lucyetis
Borgia," by Donizetti. This was great
change from the lighter score of '.La
Traviata" on the preceding evening, as
was realized when the overture ran
through the music with its mad whir!
of wild passions.
The prima donna, in She title role,
was superb. In fine voice she thrilled
the audience with the grand music
as it swept through storms of
passionate love. through wilder
storms of passionate entreaty,
and then into higher fights, where it
cepicts the bisserest hate, ending in the
very acme of terrible in feeling in the
despair of the last scene.
Emma Abbott fulfills to o perfeet de.
gree the grand ideal of the author. Her
exquisitely pure soprano voice. cultured
as lt Is to the highest round in the la6.
DER whose top is perfection, took each
note In the score as it was written with
precision, clearness and sympathy
that charmed and electrified ali her
hearers. No such music had been heard
In this city heretofore from any
opera company as the "Lucretia" last
night. Tie famous cantatrice acted 90
well a. she sang. In the scene with the
Duke, where she warns him not to take.
the life of Gennaro, she was grand 10
her %ueenly defiance. In the last scene,
where she makes known to her lover
that she is his mother, and finally bends
over his lifeless form with passionate
entreaties to bring him back to life, her
voice and manner touched not merely
the tender hearts of her own sex, but
probed and found tender chords in the
hearts. of the sterner breasts of men.
Long willAbbott's "Lucretia" be remem.
bered by the musical people of Los An.

One forgot the superb costumes and
the magnificent diamonds of the great

THE MEDICINE CHEST.
Why No Family should be without . Sup
ply OF simple Remedies

P'y W
Every family should be supplied with
small medicine chest, especially in
the country. where the drug store can
not be promptly reached or a doctor
visited. These chests can be bought at
prices ranging from So to S25. according
to size, kind of material used and beauty
OF finish. They contain square, velvet
lined compartments into each of which
a square bottle with a ground-glass
/ stopper is fitted. Beneath is a drawer
for salves, plasters and medicines in a
dry state. You can make your own
chest. if handy with tools and disposed
to be economical
| have had such a chest in use for
twenty years. 1t has paid me over, and
overland has often spared me great anx-
lety OF mind. 1t contains six four-ouncc
bottles in which keep Jamaica ginger,
camphor sweet spirits of nitre, mix
ture of sweet oil and lime water, etc. /;
1t also contains six two-ounce vials
filled with laudanum, paregoric, hive
sirup, arnica, etc. In the drawer
keep chlorate of potash, sugar of lead,
court plaster, ready-spread mustard
plaster, lint, a wad Of cotton, etc. Ey-
cry article is plainly labeled. and thus
| have at hand many of the remede.
most needed in ordinary emergencies.
1t does not require great knowledge
of medicine TO know what to use foI
the ordinary ailments of the human
family especially for the younger mem
bers. In eases Of fever a teaspoonful
of sweet spirits of ntre in glass OF
water taken at small sips at short in
tervals is most excellent A
relief for scalds, burns, poison ivy,
ETC., will be found in an external
application of sweet oil and lime
water. Jamaica ginger is used for
cramps in the stomach. Sugar of lead
water used externally will reduce
swellings in the limbs. Hive syrup is
given for Group. Arnica is rubbed on
sprains, bruises, insect bites. etc
Chlorate of potash is used for sore
throat.
OF course, if the case is a serious
one, physician should be promptly
consulted, but during the interval
these simple remedies can be intelli-
gently used, and such prompt and in
telligent use is often of great service
previous to the arrival of the physician.
More than one physician has said to
me, in substance: you have checked
the disease in its early stage; | have
little to recommend beyond what you
have already done"
My wife and myself have been
alarmed scores of times by symptoms
OF fever or Group in our children on
mid-winter midnight, the nearest
physician five miles away. In almost
every instance by giving the little pa
tient sweet spirits of nitre for the fever,
or hive syrup for the Group, we found
the child much better in the morning,
our fears allayed, and the visit of a
physician unnecded. These state
ments, borne out by long experience,
should he sufficient to extend the in
